1 Lbj Sr Dr, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547, United States
Throughout the years, I have been to visit a few friends in different care facilities. None are perfect but Fort Walton Beach Rehab is by far the best. It’s clean, there isn’t an odor, the employees are nice and the care is great. When I’m asked where someone should go, I do not hesitate before recommending this facility.

I moved my dad from another local facility to Fort Walton Rehabilitation Center in April of 2024. He was so relaxed there and had his favorite CNA's and nurses. The care he was given by all staff members, was fantastic. He was treated like a member of the family. He liked being able to sit outside in the front or in the court yard. Communication by the staff to me was excellent. I highly recommend taking your loved one here for long term care.
Being apart of many outreach programs in FWB, I’ve visited this facility many times. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cares about their patients recovery. The facility is clean, modern, and well-equipped, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. I always feel warm welcome anytime I step into the building.
My 92 year old dad was admitted to Ft. Walton Rehab after a short hospital stay. This review is based on my daily visits to see my dad while in the facility. The Rehab wing always had patient and upbeat workers. My dad loved each of them. To say they were patient with the patients doesn't begin to truly convey how patient they were. My dad wasn't always the easiest patient. Eventually, he hit a point of no progression. We made the decision to move him to the extended care wing, (a.k.a. nursing home). He loved the nurses and they were so caring. I was able to always get time with the nurses to discuss my dad's disposition and general health condition for the day. If he didn't feel like feeding himself, they would sit with him and feed him. They worked with him to make sure he was out of bed for several hours a day to keep him moving somewhat and having some social interaction. I joked that they were "holding court" as there were numerous patients in their wheelchairs encircled around the nurses station. They were interacting with the nurses and it was not unusual for them to be giving them snacks of shakes or pudding while they were "holding court". There was always residents going up and down the halls in their wheelchairs. Some of them visiting with others while they did so. My dad was always clean. His clothes and dressings were always clean. His bed was clean. The room and facility was clean. The beds were good and operational. They didn't look old and rusted like the previous rehab he was in during a different health event. Even his roommate, who had apparently had a massive stroke, appeared to be clean and cared for. It was not unusual for the nurses to come in and talk to the roommate who really couldn't communicate. I was happy to see that they didn't leave him alone just because he couldn't move and communicate. I can attest that the roommate was always clean as well. Never was my dad or his roommate left to sit in their dirty underwear or clothes. The nurses were always friendly and seemed happy to be there. This was a stark contrast to the previous rehab he had been in earlier in the year. They were quick to call when he had the slightest sore developing or even a change in attitude with him. They kept in close contact with doctors concerning my dad's condition. I always knew he was being well cared for and that brought us peace. The administration was helpful and generally friendly. They knew the residents and greeted them whenever they were in the halls. They helped us with working on financial arrangements, giving us paths to reach out to for financial help with Medicaid and insurance so we were able to afford their services. When my dad's condition declined, we were called immediately. They kept us updated and when we were there, they made room for us in the room. Never once did I feel like we were in the way or a hinderance for being there. There was a CNA that sat outside his room the last hour we were there when he was declining, giving us some space but being immediately available if we needed her. Even near the end, they made sure he was clean. At the end (the last 10-15 mins), a nurse came and was with us explaining what to expect and helping us with the emotional experience of my dad's passing. They gave us time and space with him afterwards. It was a very peaceful experience. Far different than what I had envisioned being with my dad when he passed. Needless to say, my family was so pleased with Ft. Walton Rehab and glad he was with people who loved and cared for him and he loved them.
The rehabilitation programs offered are well-structured and tailored to meet individual needs, and the therapists are not only skilled but also incredibly encouraging. They took the time to listen to concerns and goals, creating a plan that will help make significant progress during your time there. The facility itself is clean, modern, and equipped with everything necessary to aid in recovery.
